Good ol' Mike... you shall be missed. :(

Well, well, well, old buddy.... we meet again at last. :)

(30k+ posts!? You had HALF that many last we met!)

Glad to hear you got your problems fixed. I never thought our moderator-gawd...

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. Just stopping by to say hi. :-)

I wish I had more time to browse forums, hehe. Hopefully I will soon; finals end in about half a week.

Ciao!

In case you're wondering, the vpr matrix is the 2.0 GHz laptop that IBM's in-house comp. manuf. makes. (model # 200A5) It was designed by Porsche to match the 15" PowerBook in specs/price (it does,...

So yeah... 17" (or maybe 15") Apple Titanium PowerBook or 2.x GHz vpr Matrix?

I badly need a laptop, and I am considering one of these two, since I am getting a hefty tax return back this year....

ah, 'noapic' fixed my problems. very very odd (I didn't need it in previous kernel versions). Oh well, I'm happy now, hehe...

Heh, it's been a while, I admit... I've been really busy the last few months... :( I've also been posting a bit more on forums.gentoo.org, since it's more specific to my problems usually.

Hrm, I wish that was the case. I'm just in the console (not even a framebuffer) when I get issues. Do you happen to have a dually AMD system?

er, I did it from scratch... what's old config?

[Edit] Lemme be more specific, I did a 'make menuconfig' for configuring the kernel, then did a 'make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install' ,...

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted, hehe... (I suppose I just haven't had any issues since then :) )

I'm running Gentoo 1.4_rc2 on my 760MPX dual Athlon MP box, and everything was running...

Hmm, if you have a compatible computer, you can try x86 Darwin, although I don't believe it comes with many packages (I'm not sure, since it's not compatible enough with my computer, evidently)... ...

Red Hat 8.0 (the downloadable/free version) does come with Apache, I believe (httpd). I'll let you know for sure when I get back home. And yes it does come with ftp support (although I don't...

heh, I WISH! No, older power supplies are usually not compatible with newer platforms, for one reason or another. The biggest reason is probably how much power. Athlons & P4s take a _lot_ more...

actually, that's for a Gnome 1.x panel. A Gnome2 panel is gnome-panel (I found it).

But actually, I was a bit incorrect in my description of the problem. i do have a gnome-panel running (it's a...

My Gnome2 panel (the top panel, the one that comes with it default) disappeared for some odd reason. How do I get it back? I can't seem to find any option to create new panels unless you already...

..Anybody else get this error? after extensive searching, I've found that there are mainly two solutions that have worked for other people:

1.) chmod +s XFree86
2.) chmod +s Xwrapper

Well,...

I built mine around the same time Watts did, and after a frustrating first few months, I finally got it all working (buggy BIOS + bad options == UGH). And suffice to say I love it. One note about...

Hrm... out of curiosity, why would you run KaZaA Lite under wine? There are linux-native gnutella programs, such as gtk-gnutella. And if you absolutely want to use a windows program, I really like...

Buy the distribution you're planning to use. They come with great manuals.

...and I _swear_ my post counter is like going backwards or something...

Well, I got my start when I dived in and bought SuSE 7.0, and it came with a _damn_ fine manual. Go out and buy a boxed distribution that comes with [good] documentation, that's a pretty good way to...

avoid getting a PC with a Promise Ultra133 tx2 ... drivers are buggy still, and a few distros (like Slack8.1 and Debian 3.0 (Woody) won't install on one because they only come with a 2.4.18 kernel...

Well, I guess I'll revive this thread, since I got this error as well on my new Gentoo1.4 install.

I've search google, and all I can seem to find is people telling me to set the suid bit on...

Yes like Whizzard said, did you actually _format_ the drive after you partitioned, or did you just partition it? In case you didn't format it, the command would be thus:

mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1
